Los Angeles County Felony Bail Schedule

A bail schedule lists crimes and the corresponding bail amount it will take to secure a release from custody. Bail schedules vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The amount of bail can also be changed by the judge. For example, if a judge feels that the defendant’s significant criminal history supports bail being set at $500,000, he can do it, even though the bail schedule lists assault with a deadly weapon at $250,000.

Posting Bail or using a Bail Bondsman is sometimes unavoidable. However, you need to know that a Bail Bondsman is not an attorney. He or she cannot represent anyone in court. Unlike attorneys, their reputation has nothing to do with the outcome of your case, and their primary concern is ensuring that you (defendant) show up to court.

Getting someone out of jail is something most people are not familiar with. We are experienced criminal lawyers and know how to assist you with getting your friend or family member out of jail as quick and easy as possible. In many cases, we have successfully obtained the release of defendants on an Own Recognizance basis, that is without posting bail, thus saving a defendant thousands of dollars which ultimately can be applied towards the defense of the case. Consult with us first and we will determine whether it is absolutely necessary to use a Bail Bondsman, and if so, refer you to a Bail Bondsman that we trust and will handle your case with the professionalism that our law firm demands. Call us at 213-223-2173 for a no-cost consultation.
